The show has been pro­duced by the lo­cal team of Pro­duc­tion One Ltd for the past 11 years, and is al­ways on the look­out for emerg­ing jazz tal­ent through­out the Caribbean.

Com­plet­ing the open-air fes­ti­val, pic­nic am­biance will be a va­ri­ety of culi­nary de­lights on sale; and a ful­ly-stocked bar, along with ex­clu­sive event WiFi In­ter­net ac­cess so that pa­trons can up­load their ex­pe­ri­ences in re­al-time.
